Fixes Related to Game Progression

Let’s take a closer look at the fixes related to game progression:

1. Paratroopas in Monstro Town:

An issue has been fixed where game progression could be blocked after encountering Paratroopas in Monstro Town. Previously, the Paratroopas would sometimes not appear at Land’s End, causing a halt in progress.

2. Continuous Battles in Mushroom Kingdom:

Another issue that has been resolved is the continuous battle problem in the Mushroom Kingdom. After ending a battle with an enemy, the game progression would sometimes be blocked as another battle would start immediately after. This issue has been fixed.

3. Mario’s Surprise in Marrymore:

During an event in Marrymore, an issue would sometimes occur where game progression would be blocked because Mario would remain surprised. This issue has been addressed and fixed.

4. Bowser’s Keep Section:

Players were experiencing difficulty entering doors five and six in the Bowser’s Keep section with six doors. This issue has been resolved, but if it occurs again, leaving the section and returning will fix the problem.

5. Sunken Ship Surprise:

In the Sunken Ship area with many cannons, an issue would occasionally arise where game progression would be blocked because Mario would remain surprised. This issue has been fixed.

6. Stomping on a Shogun in Land’s End:

There was an issue where game progression would sometimes be blocked when stomping on a Shogun in Land’s End because the screen would not change. This issue has been resolved.

Aside from the game progression fixes, there is also an additional fix for “Thought Peek” on Straw Head and Reacher, where the messages were previously switched. This issue has now been rectified.
